After eating their fill, Mingjin brought up some things she wanted to say to Shangguan Wan alone.
Nangong Yu's complexion became even more unsightly, but since they were only siblings on the surface, he had no choice but to agree.
Ming Jin couldn't help but joke, "Your Majesty, don't worry. It's not like I'll eat your sister."
With that, he brought Shangguan Wan into an empty room.
This room was very warm and elegant. It didn't look like a place to eat, but rather a woman's room.
In this room hung a huge painting of the princess of the current dynasty, Shangguan Wan.
"Brother Wang, this?"
Ming Jin smiled bitterly: "Don't you understand?"
They had grown up together. His feelings for her had long since surpassed ethics. However, in the end, she had still married someone else. As for him, he could only live his life in the land of fireworks.
Having lost her, his personality became strange. When he was bored, he would pretend to be old and use his identity as the shopkeeper to wander around the restaurant. At night, he would return to his elegant and refined attire and head to the flowery streets to enjoy the Spring Festival Gala.
But how could those girls who only knew money and silver compare to his royal sister who he admired for over ten years?
He could only hate the fact that he had an unshakable blood relationship with her.
He missed her more and more, so when he saw her, covered in a veil, he recognized her.
She came back, but now there was a man by her side. This man probably cared about her a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have treated her with such hostility.
I really can't deny that sometimes, men's instincts can also be very accurate.
Shangguan Wan was a little confused by Mingjin's words, what did she not understand? What could she not understand?
Think again, think again.
Suddenly a terrible thought occurred to her, and she stared at him in disbelief.
"Sister Huang, after so many years, it's impossible for you to not understand. That's right, other than pretending to be stupid, what else can you do?" He shouldn't blame her. Marrying to Xuansui wasn't what she wanted, it was just for the sake of Nanyan's Rivers and Mountains Society.
But why must the princess be the victim of the marriage between the two countries? He refused to accept this outcome.
Shangguan Wan's heart was in a mess, this … The unpardonable evil spirits, I can't imagine.
She swallowed her saliva, feigned calmness, and said, "Brother Wang, everything is over."
If outsiders were to find out that the Prince Rui's son actually had an untoward love in his heart, then the Prince Rui's estate would surely lose all its reputation.
"Past? Can I go over there? " Mingjin roared, completely out of control. He placed both of his hands on her shoulders, seriously staring into her clear eyes, "Did you know that after you left, I would rather die than live?!"
Shangguan Wan should have felt scared and timid, but she still muttered in her heart, "Aren't you still living a good life, why are you saying you're so pathetic …"
If Wei He was here, he would probably admire this fellow.
He lifted her veil and saw that her cheeks were red and swollen. He reached out and touched her face lightly.
Shangguan Wan shook off his hand, "Royal brother, please have some self-respect!"
Thinking about their identities, she felt exceptionally awkward. How could they let a fox spirit live if they were to bump into her for such an unreasonable reason?
"You've said this to me so many times before, but I've never listened to it once. Do you know why? Because I love …"
The word hadn't even left his mouth when the door was kicked open. Nangong Yu walked in with a cold expression on his face and held Shangguan Wan's hand. He said in an extremely cold and solemn voice, "Duke Jin, if you want to chat with my empress, please keep your hands and feet clean!"
It was impossible for someone else to touch Nangong Yu's woman.
If it was anyone else, he would not be so easily alerted.
Nangong Yu domineeringly pulled her into his arms and walked out, carrying an indescribable wisdom and martial prowess.
Shangguan Wan was stunned. Her Majesty the Emperor's display of power was damned charming.
After she finished talking, Nangong Yu couldn't help but scold the woman in her arms, "You're really merciful to him. Who was it that was afraid of being touched by me? Who was it that caused me to fall into a deep sleep for the entire night."
"Your majesty, no matter what, he is still my cousin in name. It's not good to just randomly use magic on him." Shangguan Wan tried her best to quibble, but the emperor wouldn't listen.
"The empress's elbow is turned outwards. It should be punished." After which, he saw a shop assistant walking towards him.
Nangong Yu's voice was calm as he ordered, "You need a superior room. There's something you need to do."
This matter is really very important, you can only tell what you want to know but not what you want to say.
Ming Jin stood outside the door with his hands clenched into fists, frowning.
A voice that made people blush came from inside. He swore that it was the most ear-piercing voice he had ever heard in his life. A voice that was like a sharp blade made of ice gouged out his heart. It was cold and painful.
The woman he loved the most in his life had been treated warmly by other men.
God is so unfair.
After she was done with her important matters, the Emperor and Empress dressed neatly and left the room. Mingjin still stood there, staring at the red mark on her forehead.
The emperor had thought so hard. Women had to wear scarves when they went out here. They couldn't do anything on their faces or necks. Thus, they could only change their destination and place it on their foreheads.
